Experience of other countries has proven that behavioral factors, in addition to other interventions, play a large part in slowing down the spread of infections.
We are saddened to announce 2 new deaths from Mombasa and sent our condolences to the families & friends of the deceased.
Let us refrain from stigmatizing people who have tested positive for Coronavirus. We are all vulnerable to getting the disease; Isiolo Governor Mohamed Kuti.
The requirement of regular hand washing, maintaining social distancing, proper wearing of masks, basic hygiene standards and staying at home, must now become part of our everyday lifestyle.
I want to thank the many Kenyans who have strictly observed these measures and regulations for their cooperation, which has contributed to the achievements we have registered so far; Dr. Rashid Aman. .
This disease is real. We us Kenyans should embrace these measures of social distancing and washing of hands because they are going to save us from death or give us life; CS Tourism Najib Balala.
